==History==
Dr [[Jean-Martin Charcot]], working at the [[Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital|Salpêtrière Hospital]] in Paris, France, is credited with early reports of cholangitis, as well as his eponymous triad, in 1877.<ref name=Charcot/> He referred to the condition as "hepatic fever" (''fièvre hépatique'').<ref name=Charcot/><ref name=Kimura2007/> Dr Benedict M. Reynolds, an American surgeon, reignited interest in the condition in his 1959 report with colleague Dr Everett L. Dargan, and formulated the pentad that carries his name.<ref name=Reynolds/> It remained a condition generally treated by surgeons, with exploration of the bile duct and excision of gallstones, until the ascendancy of ERCP in 1968.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=McCune WS, Shorb PE, Moscovitz H |title=Endoscopic cannulation of the ampulla of vater: a preliminary report |journal=Ann Surg |volume=167 |issue=5 |pages=752–6 |date=May 1968 |pmid=5646296 |pmc=1387128 |doi=10.1097/00000658-196805000-00013}}</ref> ERCP is generally performed by internal medicine or gastroenterology specialists.
